Manchester City ace Samir Nasri has agreed to bet talk show host Piers Morgan £10,000 that he will get his hands on silverware before his former club Arsenal.

The French midfielder, who endured a miserable return to the Emirates on Sunday, took exception to the former Daily Mirror editorâs jibes on Twitter following the Gunners’ 1-0 win over City.

Still smarting from the defeat which effectively ended his sideâs title challenge, Nasri hit back at the notorious wind-up merchant via his own social network page, advising Morgan and other Arsenal fans to âmove onâ and âsupport your teamâ, rather than harbouring resentment towards him for making a Â£24million summer switch to City.

But after Morgan pushed the Frenchman by referencing his quotes about âleaving Arsenal to win trophiesâ â which seems an unlikely scenario this season â Nasri couldnât resist taking a pop at his old club.

âI’m aware what i said about titles i’m sure i will lift a trophy with Man City before AFC,â snapped Nasri.

Morgan then quickly challenged the midfielder to put his money where his mouth was with a Â£10,000 wager, to which Nasri replied: âNo problem we bet and the winner gives the money to a charity.â

While Morgan is no stranger to making charity bets with his celebrity pals such as The Apprentice star, Lord Alan Sugar, itâs likely the Football Association will have something to say about Nasri indulging in gambling, regardless of its light nature.

Nasriâs City team-mate Nigel De Jong had previously tried to warn him off getting into a war of words with the serial Twitter tormentor before he agreed to the bet, saying: âDon’t waste anymore tweets 2 Morgan @SamNasri19. Easy 2 sit behind your screen and give comments. Be a real man and say it their faces.â
